Tuesday Nite @ the Site

Presented by M&T Bank and the New York State Council on the Arts

The TR Site is now open until 8 o’clock on Tuesday evenings. “Tuesday Nite @ the TR Site” is a great chance to take a tour, visit the museum shop, or participate in one of our special programs!

Coloring Nite – 1st Tuesdays / 5:30-7:30pm (February – November)

On this relaxed and informal evening participants are welcome to come and go as they please. Coloring enthusiasts can bring their favorite coloring books and art supplies, but there will also be some coloring pages, colored pencils, and markers on hand. A number of the available coloring pages will be unique to the TR Site, based on the historic structure and its furnishings. Exclusive mini-tours of the museum will also be offered at 6 p.m. and 7 p.m.

TRivia Nite – 3rd Tuesdays* / 6:30pm (February – November)

Do you enjoy brain-tickling entertainment, combined with a healthy dose of friendly competition? Then you won’t want to miss TRivia Nite @ the TR Site! Participants have the chance to test their knowledge on a variety of subjects -- Theodore & the other Roosevelts will have a spot on the night's agenda (of course!), and you might find some questions about Buffalo landmarks and presidential history, but current events, pop culture and other topics will also be included. Pre-registration strongly recommended.

*Note that in November, TRivia Nite will take place on the second Tuesday (November 13th, 2018).
